DESCRIPTION:About The Davos Agenda: Nearly two years after the start of global disruptions due to COVID-19\, economies\, societies and organizations are continuing to grapple with the unpredictable trajectory of the virus. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring the week that participants were meant to come together in Davos – 17-21 January 2022 – the Forum will instead host “The Davos Agenda”\, a series of virtual plenaries aligned with the Annual Meeting objective of orienting global leaders on the imperatives of the year ahead. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Davos Agenda features a mix of visionary “state of the world” special addresses and ambitious high-level leadership panels focusing on critical collective challenges\, the Davos Agenda will mobilize heads of state and government\, business leaders\, international organizations and civil society to share their outlook\, insights and plans relating to the most urgent global issues.

SUMMARY:The Protein Transformation: A Critical Driver of the Net-Zero Economy
DESCRIPTION:The Protein Transformation: The global food system is one of the major drivers of carbon emissions\, climate change\, biodiversity loss\, and depletion of freshwater resources. A dietary shift towards more plant-based food\, and notably traditional plant-based and alternative proteins\, may be key to significantly reduce these environmental impacts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe invite you to join MSCI and Blue Horizon\, as we discuss the climate risks and opportunities the food sector may face due to the protein transformation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor investors\, we take a look at how MSCI ESG Research’s Climate Value-at-Risk (Climate VaR) model offers quantitative insights into how the protein transformation may be factored into company valuation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor corporate issuers\, we provide insights to help to manage climate risk exposure they may face by participating in the traditional plant-based and alternative proteins market growth. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor regulators\, we explore quantitative metrics to assess the food sector’s contribution to achieving net-zero targets. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Speakers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by MSCI_Inc\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Alpha in a New Era: Finding the Next Frontier in Private Equity
DESCRIPTION:Alpha in a New Era: Economic disruptions typically cause a period of hesitation to participate in markets. In the aftermath of the global financial crisis\, investors flocked to haven assets\, but this pattern shifted during the covid-19 pandemic. Equity markets reached new highs and private markets saw record inflows. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCentral banks’ swift and decisive action was an important first step that led to a new phase in private markets. The safety net provided by policymakers helped preserve market function. Private equity also stepped in to support businesses with capital\, fostering ideal conditions for transaction activity across alternative markets and helping to stave off corporate defaults. In a market flush with capital and liquidity\, the next phase for investors and allocators will bring challenges and opportunities. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExuberance in private markets is giving way to the growing pains of a long and choppy economic recovery. In the next phase of the return to normalcy\, high valuations\, leverage and changes in monetary policy will bring new risks to private equity investors along with unique opportunities in overlooked sectors and markets. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Economist Impact for Alpha in a New Era: Finding the Next Frontier in Private Equity\, a virtual event sponsored by PineBridge Investments\, to explore how private equity investors are positioning themselves to generate alpha in today’s changing market and how that will affect portfolio allocations for the next decade. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKey questions:– How should investors and allocators prepare for changes in liquidity conditions?– How will volatility affect the availability of capital as the economic recovery from the pandemic continues?– After the recovery\, which changes in market conditions will become permanent?– What are some overlooked industries that will help investors position themselves to achieve alpha in this next phase of the economic recovery? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by EconomistEvents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Digital is now - Driving sustainable 'Zero-Based' operations in European banking
DESCRIPTION:How digital are you?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe holy grail of ‘zero-based’ operations is now a key objective for Europe’s largest banks. In an ever-evolving digital landscape\, incumbent banks aim to keep pace and embrace smart data management and resilient future systems. With core banking operations at the very centre of a complete digital transformation\, how ready are incumbent banks to serve their customers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs banks strive for technology-enabled customer journeys and end-to-end digital capabilities\, workforces and legacy operations must shift accordingly. Remote working has triggered a European cultural shift and the challenges of stepping up to the digital mark cannot be ignored. As the spotlight falls on sustainability\, what are the challenges holding back the operational models of the future? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHosted by The Banker and in partnership with Accenture\, this webinar is shaped by an in-depth European* Banking Operations survey conducted earlier this autumn on core banking systems and adoption of end-to-end digital capabilities: the European lens of Accenture’s Global Fast-track to future-ready banking research.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe discussion will highlight some of the most interesting findings voiced by the COO participants. Join this discussion with other operational leaders as we explore adoption of advanced technologies\, digitally enabled customer journeys and more.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n* Belgium\, Denmark\, Finland\, France\, Germany\, Italy\, The Netherlands\, Poland\, Spain\, Sweden\, Switzerland\, UK. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by TheBanker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:The growing case for responsible business education
DESCRIPTION:How can business schools encourage innovative approaches to further sustainable practices? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs sustainability tops the commercial agenda\, business schools are being urged to do more to integrate social and environmental topics into their courses\, as well as foster diversity among their faculty and students. Are they succeeding? \n\n\n\nOften driven by student demand\, schools have introduced more course content on sustainable business\, but many are offered only as electives. The challenge still remains to integrate topics such as biodiversity and social enterprise into core courses\, such as operations and finance. \n\n\n\nSchools are also being criticised for curriculum content that is still based around the ‘shareholder primacy’ model and the pursuit of short-term returns rather than the long-term strategies needed to address issues such as inequality or climate change. \n\n\n\nThe Financial Times is partnering with InTent to present this virtual webinar to showcase the winners from the Responsible Business Education Awards 2022\, which aimed to encourage innovative approaches to areas such as tackling climate change\, increasing sustainability\, and bringing about greater diversity and inclusion. We will also be discussing practical and measurable strategies for enhancing responsible business practices in business schools and business operations. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n9:00 AM – 10:00 AM GMT +0 / 4:00 AM – 5:00 AM Your local time   (1 Hour) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe growing case for responsible business education | MAIN AUDITORIUM BROADCAST \n\n\n\nStarts 2 min before the session time \n\n\n\n09:00 – 09:10  WelcomeAndrew Jack\, Global Education Editor\, Financial TimesAndré Hoffmann\, Co-Founder of InTent & Vice Chairman of Roche \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n09:10 – 09:15  Video on Responsible Business Education Awards 2022 \n\n\n\n09:15 – 09:50  Panel discussionBusiness schools are coming under growing pressure from students\, employers and faculty alike to enhance their focus on responsible business education in their teaching\, research and their own operations.

SUMMARY:Delivering a resilient\, sustainable and strong economic recovery
DESCRIPTION:Placing the business sector at the centre of the rebuild\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAre businesses moving fast enough to deliver change?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGovernments and businesses are facing a world radically changed by COVID-19 but despite the best of intentions\, recouping economic growth and social and environmental progress in the current uncertain context is not exempt from substantial challenges. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis FT Digital Dialogue\, organized in partnership with Accenture\, will discuss the progress made so far for the recovery in Europe and plans for 2022. It will address how we are advancing towards strengthening resilience in the face of future challenges. Focus will be placed on the role of business in delivering long lasting change towards this end. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter almost two years of the pandemic\, economic recovery in Europe has been volatile. The rebound was faster and stronger than expected\, but the recovery is still fragile\, with businesses contending with multiple challenges including supply chain disruption\, talent shortages\, rising inflation as well as new virus strains. Post-COVID-19 rebuilding still provides a unique opening for both the private and public sector to reset economies and business models\, establishing the foundations for a more sustainable\, resilient and inclusive recovery. A number of bold commitments – including green recovery packages and investment in digital\, physical and social infrastructure – have been stepped up to bring stronger economic growth\, meet global environmental targets and address structural inequalities. On top of this\, the acceleration in the race to net-zero and a fast adaptation to a dynamic\, hybrid new world of work have been driving forces in this same direction.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGovernments and businesses are facing a world radically changed by COVID-19 but despite the best of intentions\, recouping economic growth and social and environmental progress in the current uncertain context is not exempt from substantial challenges. How can businesses build resilience\, increase competitiveness\, and support long-term profitable growth? Is the ambition to reset economies for a more inclusive and sustainable recovery hampered? Is the built- in resilience sufficient to face new crises? Are the initiatives to accelerate digitization\, reskill workers and adapt workplaces and business models succeeding? Are they delivering more inclusive\, sustainable and resilient organizations and supply chains?  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis FT Digital Dialogue\, organized in partnership with Accenture\, will discuss the progress made so far for the recovery in Europe and plans for 2022. It will address how we are advancing towards strengthening resilience in the face of future challenges. Focus will be placed on the role of business in delivering long lasting change towards this end. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOpening remarks from FT Chair and welcome by Accenture\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPanel Discussion with audience Q&A\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs we take stock of nearly two tumultuous years and look ahead to 2022\, are we on track to get national economies growing again in a way that is efficient and results in more equitable societies? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAre we better prepared to mitigate and recover from future shocks?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAre businesses moving fast enough to deliver change?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow are they reinventing themselves to take advantage of new models of value creation\, driven by Digital and Sustainability? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow do they ensure they have the right talent to succeed? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClosing remarks from FT Chair\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by ftlive\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Is vaccine nationalism undermining the global economic recovery?
DESCRIPTION:Bringing the pandemic to an end in 2022\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIs vaccine nationalism undermining the global economic recovery? It has been 2 years since COVID-19 first struck\, leaving a devastating trail in its wake. In the first 12 months of the pandemic\, the global economy shrunk 3.2% while global trade is estimated to have fallen 5.3%. While 2021 has seen many developed countries begin their economic recovery\, a report by the International Chamber of Commerce has warned that letting the developing world fall behind could cost the global economy US$9.2 trillion. Although advanced economies have committed to sharing resources\, recent figures show that six times as many booster jabs have been given out in high-income countries compared to first jabs in low and mid-income countries. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe global target to vaccinate 70% of people in all country income categories by September 2022 is going to require a huge shift in momentum\, and at the current rate\, this wouldn’t be achieved for over a decade. Vaccine distribution remains a key issue\, as is the absence of a global plan to tackle this global pandemic. If significant progress isn’t made towards ending the pandemic everywhere in 2022\, particularly with dangerous new variants continuing to emerge\, the global economic impact could be devastating. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis digital webinar\, hosted by the Financial Times and in partnership with the ONE Campaign\, will explore the issues facing the pandemic response in developing countries and what high-income countries can do to accelerate the recovery process in these regions. We will discuss how achieving vaccine parity could be a key driver on the road to recovery for the global pandemic. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda – Vaccine nationalism undermining the global economic recovery?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOpening remarks from FT Chair\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPanel Discussion\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow will the continued spread of COVID and the emergence of new variants impact the global economic recovery? Is vaccine equity the answer to preventing new mutations?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat are the dangers of ignoring the uneven recovery of the global economy?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat must be done to ensure that the global target set to vaccinate 70% of people in every country by September 2022 becomes a reality\, and what’s at stake if it’s not done?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBesides the 70% target\, what do we need to achieve at the Global Vaccine Summit in February? What does success look like\, and what’s needed to get there?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat investment in healthcare and manufacturing infrastructure is needed to aid developing countries’ recovery?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQ&A with audience\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClosing remarks from FT Chair\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by ftlive\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://esgnews.com/esg-lifestyle/ \n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.

SUMMARY:Value in the new normal: Holding the trust in multinational companies
DESCRIPTION:Value in the new normal: Holding the trust in multinational companies – About The Event\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nValue in the new normal: Investment trusts have often looked to large UK domiciled companies for dependable income streams and long term capital growth. Large UK companies have offered investors access to multinational markets\, cemented on a legacy of strong cash flow and good fundamentals. As market volatility\, supply chain disruption and downturns in the business cycle continue to affect companies globally\, the potential for investments in larger companies to mitigate risk in a portfolio is promising. However\, while investments in larger companies are seen as being safer\, can they also provide higher returns?  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs factors such as COVID-19\, climate change and changing demographics interact to create an increasingly uncertain environment for investors\, investment trusts focusing on large UK companies have come to dominate. What is the potential for such trusts to provide a sustainable and steady source of dividends in the long run? How would these dividends compare to smaller companies? What can investors do to best capitalise on these opportunities to grow and diversify their portfolios? When choosing large UK firms for investment\, how can investors look beyond value and growth binaries to ensure that they are not overpaying while also maintaining quality?  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for this one hour webinar as our expert panel of commentators and fund managers share their insight on the best high yielding large UK companies and top contributing factors and opportunities to consider for the years to come. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\nTweets by ftlive\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://esgnews.com/esg-investing/ \n\n\nMatt BirdMatt Bird is the Founder\, CEO\, and Editor-in-Chief of ESG News.
